horrorbusiness138 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm a bit late on this bandwagon, but this reminds me of a kickstarter a while back where a guy just wanted $8 for a chipotle burrito and got like $1000. Oh the silly things people will fund. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radiatorhums Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I'm honestly encouraged by this. My Volunteer Fire Company is facing a $20k deficit this year in the repairs we need to make. We have to raise the funds ourselves. One house in my town already closed for this reason. I look at this and I'm thinking we just need to have some fun and get a little lucky along the way. I haven't been a fan of Kickstarter but for a bunch of full time working guys who now need to quadruple our annual fundraising efforts on top of all our volunteer time this might be a way to a quick $500-$1000. Doesn't look like a lot of money but it's hard for us. Is sexy calendar not an option? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 It would be an insane dick move to keep the money. Just because people are stupid enough to pledge money to a fucking potato salad doesn't mean he has any right to the cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Avatar Posted July 9, 2014 Author Share Posted July 9, 2014 They can write off the donations + looks good + corporate social responsibility. It's definitely worth trying, Dave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
